  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector with active electrical components, and more particularly, to a medical device connector utilizing an intelligent on board electrical design.
  • Electronic equipment such as that utilized in the medical industry, including, for example, defibrillators or centrifuges, may require electrical connectors for providing power. Additionally, or alternatively, a need may exist for coupling the aforementioned electrical equipment to additional equipment or electrical components.
  • the connector design found, for example, in many electrical connector types for such equipment may be specialized according to the type of device. Hence, one electrical connector design may be utilized for one type of equipment, and another connector design may be required for another type of equipment.
